> Starting this Sunday, On Sunday, September 30, I will begin a
> discussion of Charny's Questions.   It will take place on the
> Tournament Companies list hosted at www.topica.com.
>
> Geoffroi de Charny composed a series of questions on the joust, the
> tourney, and war in about 1350 for King John of France's Order of the
> Star.
>
> The questions give us some idea of the actual conduct of jousts and
> tourneys in Charny's time.   They were presented to knights for their
> commentary and edification.   On the other hand, the questions have no
> answers!
>
> I think that a bunch of intelligent, interested people discussing the
> questions, as they were meant to be discussed, might expose some
> interesting aspects of the material.   I know that in the few
> discussions I've had to date, I've always come away learning something
> new.
>
> The format will be simple: I will post one or more questions, in my
> translation, to the list, whoever wants to take a crack at answering
> them and explaining his/her answer will do so, and when conversation on
> that topic reaches the logical point, we'll move on to the next
> question.
>
> If you are interested in taking part, you must sign up for the
> Tournament Companies (or TourneyCompanies) list hosted at
> www.topica.com.

> Go to that site and sign on -- it's very easy.
